. Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 8012 INCARVILLEA INCAKVlLLEA (after , the French Jesuit missionary to Cliiii:i . /â¢''; ;..». About 10 species of herbaceous ]i. i m ^intial Asia, one of vbich, I. Be/in lili haudsoiue pinnate foliage, each It-af bnuu 1 u. ^. witli as many as 15-20 dentate segments: scape 1-2 ft. high, bearing 2-12 large trumpet-shaped, rosy purple fls., each 2-3 in. long and as much wide. These lis. are probably equal in decora- tive value to many of the Bignonias cherished in our greenhouses. In size and beauty they rank with those of Catalpa, Bignonia and Tecoma, of the same family. This species is certainly the finest hardy herbaceous perennial in the Bignonia family. The tube is yellow inside and out, and the 2 upper lobes are smaller than the 3 lower ones. The genus is closely allied to Amphi- come, and the flowers of both have the same ap- pearance, but in Incarvillea the calyx lobes are awl- shaped, while in Amphicome the calyx is truncate or shortly dentate. Also the seeds of Incarvillea have an entire hyaline wing, while in Amphicome the seeds have a wing that is cut into long thin, strips or hairs. The iwo genera form a small but remarkable group, charac- terized by their capsules opening by the ventral suture only. William Watson declares that Incarvilleas are not annuals, as stated in the botanies. The general experience seems to be that these plants need rather more winter protection than most hardy herbaceous perennials. A light, sandy loam, well en- riched and deeply worked, suits them well, and they like a sheltered position in a rather warm, sunny place. Prop, by division or seed. A.
